  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sally Serger as a 
woman of the year. As a dedicated educator who is passionate about her 
family and community, Ms. Sally Serger has devoted over 25 years of her 
life to teaching deaf and hard-of-hearing special-needs children in 
Oroville for the Sutter County Office of Education. With her 
persistence and positivity, she has been able to touch the lives of 
countless children who otherwise might not receive the patient care and 
instruction so critical to their development. It is a point of pride 
for Ms. Serger when she has the opportunity to interact with the 
students who she has seen grow into successful young adults throughout 
her career. Ms. Serger also spends time volunteering in myriad other 
capacities throughout her community. She is a member of the California 
Women for Agriculture, the La Porte Snowmobile Club, and has served for 
over 30 years as a project and community leader for the renowned 4-H 
Program. When one considers that 4-H seeks to engage youth in reaching 
their fullest potential, it is no surprise to learn that Ms. Serger has 
chosen to spend her time with this organization. In addition to her 
work as an educator, Ms. Serger has been a consistent force in 
improving the western bank of the Feather River, and by diligently 
advocating for her community, she became instrumental in securing local 
funding for the strengthening of Sutter

County levees. Ms. Serger's passion, dedication, and diligence in all 
facets of her life are truly worthy of recognition.
